The movie “Parenthood” showed me family are the people you know will always be there for you, even if you do not have the best relationship with them. When I was about 5 or 6 years old, my family were the people in my life that I looked up to the most. I wanted to be just like my older brother in everything I did and my Mom and Dad were my biggest role models. Yet as I grew older my roles models and influences changed. My friends at school started to impact my decisions more than my siblings and parents. I think that was only natural for me to grow apart from my brothers, being that I am the only girl. Much like the families in “Parenthood” who were not perfect, my family and I’s relationship is a work in progress.
